Hoptimist Bumble

Have a happy Hoptimist with you wherever you go. The key ring with the small Hoptimist pendant reminds you to always face the world with optimism and positivity. With a strong belief in the power of smiles, Gustav Ehrenreich created his cheerful Hoptimist movement at the end of the 1960s. The aim was to create a figure that would form an eternal reminder to stay positive and optimistic. Although the 60s are often referred to as "The Happy 60s", the decade was characterised by unrest. Ehrenreich's design was therefore a welcome source of joy in an otherwise rather turbulent time. Bimble and Bumble represent the very first Hoptimists from the designer's hand: a girl dressed for school with smiling eyes and an attentive boy with a splint on his head. The cheerful Hoptimists are now part of Danish design history and are a source of joy all over the world.
